Commander of the Israeli Air Force, Amikam Norkin:

"We live in a highly complex environment in which threats to Israel are increasing from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Conducting the “blue flag” international maneuver in these circumstances with the continuation of overt and covert military activity on all fronts, is of paramount strategic importance."

- The Joint Room statement was issued following Israel's attack on a strategic target of a nature different that those targetted monthly.

- A retaliation, limited in scope, will be carried to re-establish red lines

In several articles, Al-Akhbar details the backstory and preparations of yesterday's massacre.

They also stress how all security forces knew about armed mobile cells between Beirut, Keserwan, and Zahle from the Lebanese Forces party arriving to the area:

MTV: EU approves sanctions framework against Lebanese politicians.

The European Union calls on Lebanon's leaders to abide by responsibility and avoid escalation.

The shooting heard in Beirut's southern suburbs is from the funerals of those killed in yesterday's ambush and clashes that followed.

Bint-Jbeil News: Faint sounds of explosions were heard on the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine, opposite the town of Al-Adaysah.

The Lebanese army and the Information Branch in ISF confiscated all the CCTV recordings from the stores located in the locality of Tayouneh, without leaving any copies for the store owners.

Head of the Executive Council of Hezbullah, Hashem Safi El-Din, at the funeral of the victims of the Tayouneh massacre:

"Today we bid farewell to those martyrs who died, but what we must talk about is that the rights and justice of blood that fell is preserved."

⋯ "This blood will not subside, and we will not be silent about the fall of this blood in any way. We are among the ones who know how to bear the right and wrongdoing, and so we will work in this case to reach justice."

"Yesterday was a call for a peaceful assembly, and this is a natural right, as this is the first time that people gather in the Adliya area. This assembly could have remained normal and the martyrs would have returned to their families, but there was another matter planned."

⋯ "The Lebanese Forces Party was seeking to cause a new civil war in Lebanon."

Hashem Safi El-Din continues by saying that they knew of the existence of anti-protest gatherings, but did not proceed with the protest until the security forces allowed it after securing the roads.

"The scene we saw yesterday is one of the episodes directed by the United States of America and financed by some Arabs."

"We do not believe that our generations should live through the tragedies of the civil war. This is forbidden to happen."

The Lebanese currency rate recovered slightly, decreasing from 21,500 LBP/USD to 20,350 LBP/USD

An odd contrast after yesterday's events.

Saudi Foreign Minister: We are concerned about the political and economic situation in Lebanon, which requires immediate action.

Events of the past two days show that Lebanon needs real and serious change, as the responsibility lies on the leaders.

As of tonight, the Lebanese army arrested 19 individuals connected to yesterday's ambush and clashes that followed.
